Every time I am forced to put something in recycling, I think of how that actually means dumping it in my home region, SE Asia
The only reliable way to recycle is to eliminate plastic as far as possible.
Plastic recycling is a failed idea, and a pollutant of the developing world.

My latest just out today in @sciencemagazine: "The costs of “costless” climate mitigation," joint with Matt Kotchen & James Rising.
IPCC, McKinsey, energy-systems models & climate-economic ones have quite a bit of disagreement around what it costs to cut emissions.
The biggest disagreement: how much of it is free, and what does "free" mean.
Or more to the point, what does it take to get the free stuff actually done. (Hint: It takes policy.)

Egypt is struggling with water scarcity and shrinking arable land. Is soilless farming the answer?
It's expected to be categorised as water scarce by 2025, due to climate change and a dam recently built by Ethiopia on one of the main tributaries of the River Nile, Egypt’s main source of fresh water
Meanwhile, arable land, which constitutes less than 5 per cent of Egypt, has been shrinking due to urbanisation. The remaining 95 per cent is all desert

Hello! I’m a professor of planetary science based at Harvard, interested in rocky planet evolution, #climate, habitability, and related topics.
Finally decided to get a social media account and Mastodon seemed like a logical choice right now. Looking forward to figuring out what this site (or sites??) is all about…
Saturday, 18 November 2023, was a day that will be remembered in history — if, that is, any historians are still around a hundred years from now.
On Saturday, two days ago, the average global temperature reached 2.0° Celsius above the pre-industrial baseline for the first time ever.
This year, 2023, almost certainly will be the first full year with temperatures averaging over 1.5°C, and next year could be even hotter. Most climate experts predict (and hope) that when the current El Niño pattern recedes, global temperatures will cool down a bit and we should experience a few years below 1.5°C. It is possible, however, that other feedbacks might kick in and keep temperatures climbing. We'll just have to wait and see.
But meanwhile, it's Business As Usual! 😃

Thanks to human-caused climate change, thanks to the continuous suicidal burning of fossil fuels, and also thanks to the current El Niño phenomenon, our oceans are heating up dangerously fast.
A few days ago (3 Nov), the global sea surface temperature anomaly reached a new record high of almost six standard deviations. For the mathematicians among us, that actual figure was 5.94σ.
According to Prof. Eliot Jacobson, who prepared the graphs below, no other day in any year has ever come close to this anomaly.

Exceptional October temperatures!
The anomaly for October 2023 (departure from average temperatures) is
the second largest anomaly (after September 2023)
of any month
of any year
in the ERA dataset (back to 1940)
and combining with IPCC data - the warmest October for over 125,000 years (AR6 WG1: Fig2_11)
October 2023 was around 1.7ºC above the preindustrial average, making it virtually certain that 2023 will be the warmest year on record
